About Lane Head Barns
About us
Our village of Onecote is not just in the Peak District National Park but at the heart of a very special part of the Peaks known as the South West Peak – an area of stunning natural beauty, tranquility and heritage.
The 17th century Lane Head Farm is one of the oldest properties in the farming community of Onecote. Peace, tranquility and beautiful landscapes provide the perfect escape from everyday life when you stay at Morridge View or Mixon View; which both sit within the farm’s courtyard.
Onecote
Onecote (pronounced on-cut) is a small, charming village that lies within the Staffordshire Moorlands area of the Peak District National Park, 5 miles from the historic market town of Leek.
The village has an active church (St. Luke’s), excellent pub / restaurant (The Jervis Arms), and busy village hall. Onecote is a short drive from Peak District highlights such as Dovedale, Bakewell, Hartington and the Manifold Valley and to the south is the Churnet Valley, an area of outstanding natural beauty and rich heritage.
Farming community
Onecote has always been a farming community and remains so today with many active dairy and sheep farms in and around the village. Lane Head Farm itself comprised around 140 acres in the 19th century but land has gradually been sold to neighbouring farms so that now it is a small holding with just a few acres.
Our neighbours breed sheep so surrounding fields will be full of ewes and lambs if you are with us in late spring and summer.
Visit England Accreditation
We are delighted to have been awarded five star accreditation for Mixon View and four star gold for Morridge View.
The process is rigorous with Visit England’s independent assessor visiting annually to inspect both properties and provide us with useful advice about how best to meet our guests’ needs.
Guests can book with confidence knowing that both properties meet Visit England’s high standards.
Your Hosts
Angela and Jason are your hosts and live in the farmhouse on site. If you would like recommendations, routes, pubs, or hidden walks, we are always happy to help. If not, we will leave you in peace to enjoy the views and the quiet.
Created with love by Paul and Kate, these cottages have a special place here, and we feel lucky to be looking after them next. We are new to the Peak District, but not new to looking after guests. With 20+ years in hospitality each, we are gradually adding a few thoughtful touches. Over time we will be introducing optional on site food and baking treats for those who fancy them, while keeping the cottages exactly what they should be: yours for the duration of your stay.
